Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Connecting using the component video output
You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment). This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available. Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.
Connecting using the S-video output
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video (S1) input, you can use the S-video output on this player instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture. Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver). Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

COMPONENT VIDEO IN TV

DV393 KU.book Page 13 Thursday, March 16, 2006 1:17 PM
Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs
This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image. To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 35. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display. Important When Component Out (page 35) is set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (Svideo) jacks. If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Interlace. If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see Easy connections on page 11), then switch back to Interlace (see below).
resolution will be reset to its defaultsee Resetting the output resolution to the default setting with HDMI connection on page 15.)

Connecting to an AV receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using the digital audio output. In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection. Youll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).

FAQ After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds! Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video regions on page 42. If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also Taking care of your player and discs on page 40. Why wont the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that its clean and undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 40 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wont play, its probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 8 for more on disc compatibility. I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs? Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction. I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs? Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.
Ive connected to a HDMI compatible component but I cant get any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator wont light! Make sure that youve selected this player as the HDMI input in the settings for the component youre using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this. See Connecting using HDMI (DV-490V only) on page 14 for more on HDMI compatibility. Theres no picture from the HDMI output! This player cannot display pictures from DVI compatible sources. See Connecting using HDMI (DV-490V only) on page 14 for more on HDMI compatibility. Make sure the resolution on this player matches that of the component you have connected using HDMI. See HDMI Resolution on page 36 to change the HDMI resolution.

Parental Lock

Default level: Off; Default password: none; Default Country/Area code: us (2119) To give you some control over what your children watch on your DVD player, some DVDVideo discs feature a Parental Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc wont play. Some discs also support the Country/Area Code feature. The player does not play certain scenes on these discs, depending on the Country/Area Code you set. Note Not all discs use Parental Lock, and will play without requiring the password first. If you forget your password, youll need to reset the player to register a new password (see Resetting the player on page 42).
